Many
of you have called or emailed regarding the storm brewing between
Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and the BLM. We all know how we feel about
the all-too-frequent bullying of individual citizens by various Feds
with their usurped, unconstitutional powers. It's an epidemic that must
be stopped.

Well, we want you to know we ARE doing something
about it, and thankfully this time we're not alone. Sheriff Mack is
leaving early Saturday
morning for an emergency trip to Bunkerville, Nevada, along with other
members of the CSPOA posse (hopefully that's some of you!) to stand
vigil and find a peaceful resolution to this conflict (i.e., the feds
going home).

AND this late-breaking news as per Lyle Rapacki today:

State Senate President Andy Biggs and House of Reps Speaker Dave Livingston have both agreed that Arizona should be involved in supporting CSPOA and Oath Keepers
in going to Bunkerville, NV to support the movement for freedom there
with the Cliven Bundy family. State Senators Al Melvin, Chester
Crandall, and Kelly Ward along with State Reps Brenda Barton, Bob
Thorpe, Kelly Townsend and Warren Peterson are all planning to be at the
Bundy ranch by Sunday morning. Furthermore, they all plan to attend the Press Conference Monday
afternoon with the CSPOA and Oath Keepers along with the Bundys and
other sheriffs and public officials from across the country.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We hope you understand how HUGE this is, that state senators and reps are supporting the CSPOA and the Oath Keepers! We are not alone!

We want to see YOU at this event. The more support we show in numbers, the more seriously they will take
us.

The U.S. Justice Department on Thursday released a scathing report in
response to a series of deadly police shootings that pointed to
patterns of excessive force by the Albuquerque Police Department,
serious constitutional violations and a lack of training and oversight
of its officers.

After more than a year of reviewing hundreds of cases handled by the
Albuquerque police, the federal agency found that officers too
frequently used deadly force on people "who posed a minimal threat" and
used a higher level of force too often on those with mental illness.

Albuquerque police have received much criticism over 37 shootings by
officers since 2010, 23 of which were fatal. The Justice Department
found the majority of those shootings were unreasonable and violated
constitutional rights. The DOJ also found a significant number of
instances in which officers used less lethal measures such as Tasers in
an unconstitutional manner.

Congressman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), as Chairman of the House
Intelligence Committee, is charged with investigating the adequacy of security
at the Benghazi compound prior to the September 11, 2012 terrorist
attack.

His wife, Kristi
Clemens Rogers was the president and the CEO of the company that was
contracted by the State Department to provide that
security!

Mrs. Rogers, until recently, served as
president and CEO of Aegis LLC, the contractor to the United States Department
of State for intelligence-based and physical security
services.

Aegis,
a British private military company with overseas offices in Afghanistan,
Bahrain, Iraq, Kenya, Nepal and the U.S., won a $10 billion, 5-year contract with the
State Department to provide security for U.S. diplomatic posts around the
world

Last Friday, Attorney General Eric Holder testified before a House
appropriations subcommittee on behalf of his department's proposed
budget for FY2015.

Apparently, Holder didn't think anyone would read his written
submission, because he all-but-admitted that Obama intends to implement a
Universal Gun Registry by executive fiat.

He also asked Congress to help fund so-called “smart gun”
technology, which would prevent a gun from firing unless the shooter is
wearing an accompanying bracelet or ring.

“Smart guns” are a dumb idea

Given that “smart gun” technology only works about 80 percent of
the time -- according to the New Jersey Institute of Technology -- gun
owners almost universally consider this a “dumb” idea.

Even police have rejected the “dumb gun” approach for themselves.

Currently, there are no such guns on the market in the United
States. One gun store did briefly offer an Armatix .22 caliber earlier
this year, but public outrage forced them to pull the handgun from the
shelves.

Holder pushes a Universal Gun Registry

This year’s Obama budget shows how the administration is trying to
quietly create the infrastructure for a universal gun registry.

In proposed “Program Increases” for the FBI, Holder has this to say:

“This program enhancement will double the capacity of the existing
NICS [National Instant Check System] system. These expansions are
vital in ensuring that the NICS system can support a Universal
Background Check requirement, which is expected to double gross NICS
transactions.”

Huh?

It may have escaped the Attorney General's notice, but the Democrat Senate defeated his Universal Background Check requirement.

So, in effect, Holder's asking for $100 million and 524 personnel to implement a program Congress rejected.

But that's not all.

Holder seeking more ATF agents to copy to 4473 forms

In the section on ATF “Program Increases,” Holder demands $51.1
million and 255 agents and other personnel for enforcement and
inspections.

In case anyone has forgotten, these are the people who are going
to the FFL's in connection with “annual inspections” -- and physically
copying all the 4473's and bound book entries. GOA has reported on
these efforts before, and one can read first-hand accounts from gun
dealers here and here.

So under Holder's proposed budget, many more 4473's would be copied and fed into ATF's de facto registry.

At the same time, Obama's illegal Universal Background Check --
implemented, presumably, by executive fiat -- would ensure every gun
transaction would have to go through an FFL. And this, of course, would
guarantee that every American gun owner would have a 4473 which can be
copied.

Think about it. With Republicans expected to take the Senate this
fall -- and Obama stymied legislatively -- he has every incentive to go
"full tyrant." And that, apparently, is exactly what he intends to do.

But we have no intention to sit back and let Holder take away our
Second Amendment rights. We have drafted legislation to prohibit ATF
from copying 4473's -- and to require it to destroy any 4473's it
currently has.

UPDATE: GOA recently alerted you that an import
ban on certain ammunition could be forthcoming from the ATF. Well, it’s
official now -- the ATF just declared that Russian-made 7N6 5.45x39 ammo is armor piercing. This lawlessness represents another reason that Congress needs to cut t
he ATF’s budget.

ACTION: Click here to Contact your Representative.
Demand that the Commerce-Justice-Science appropriations bill contain
language to prohibit ATF from compiling a national gun registry by
copying and retaining the 4473's of every American.

It is time.

A revolution without a shot fired is
possible, and for those that have been wringing their hands over what
they have been watching happen to the US and wondering what a single
person can do about it, there is plenty.

Update: Word on the street from
sources close to the militia movement is that up to 5,000 armed militia
members will be arriving in Bunkerville, Nevada sometime today. (See
full report below)

SHTFplan.com Editor’s Note: It is apparent that the Federal
government was under the impression that they could simply move into the
ranch land surrounding Bunkerville, NV and have their way with the
property and livelihood of the Bundy family. What they didn’t count on
was the outcry from Americans across the country. And now things may be
headed to the next level. As Kim Paxton of The Daily Sheeple
notes, citizen militias in several states have been called up. Many
members of those organizations are taking up arms and are making their
way to Nevada.

And it’s not just the citizen militias that are preparing to take
action. The governor of Nevada has officially condemned the federal
government’s actions, though he has yet to take any steps afforded to
him under State law. Sheriff Richard Mack of Gilbert, Arizona has weighed in and calls the actions “terrorism.”

At last count there were some 200 federal agents from various
agencies on the ground in Nevada and it appears that hundreds, perhaps
thousands, of armed militia members will soon arrive to confront them.

The Federal government will no doubt step up their efforts, as they
are facing the possibility of a widespread rebellion resulting from
their actions against a private citizen whose only “crime” was to graze
his cattle on the land his family has used for this purpose for over a
century. It would not be at all surprising to see the President of the
United States call up National Guard troops and more militarized law
enforcement officials for fear of having this spiral out of control. A
declaration of martial law to go along with already established First Amendment Areas is not out of the question.

We may well be on the cusp of a serious stand-off involving thousands of people. Keep in mind that most of them will be armed.

Ammon Bundy, the son of besieged Nevada
rancher Cliven Bundy, told Infowars reporter David Knight today around
20 cowboys went on land claimed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) and retrieved cattle.

“We gathered about 30 head,” said Bundy.
“We did have a small confrontation with them, but they didn’t have the
forces to do a whole lot. They couldn’t mobilize fast enough and we were
able to gather those cattle and get them to the ranch.”

New IRS emails
released by the House Oversight Committee show staff working for
Democratic Ranking Member Elijah Cummings communicated with the IRS
multiple times between 2012 and 2013 about voter fraud prevention group
True the Vote. True the Vote was targeted by the IRS after applying for
tax exempt status more than two years ago. Further, information shows
the IRS and Cummings' staff asked for nearly identical information from
True the Vote President Catherine Engelbrecht about her organization,
indicating coordination and improper sharing of confidential taxpayer
information.

Chairman of the House Oversight Committee Darrell
Issa, along with five Subcommittee Chairmen are demanding Cummings
provide an explanation for the staff inquiries to the IRS about True the
Vote and for his denial that his staff ever contacted the IRS about the
group.

Remembrance

To die for one’s country is not only an act of bravery, it is THE act of bravery. For soldiers, it is just an extension of their military career, a part of their duty. As leaders have asked their soldiers to sacrifice themselves for the good of the society, it is only right for leaders to go through the same motion. They should practice what they have preached.

As war is seen as a noble act, tu sat serves as redemption in case of defeat. It is also a way to tell the enemy: “You might have won the battle/war but you don’t deserve to win because you don’t have the chinh nghia (just cause).” And it is not only just cause: it is the moral belief that the cause they are fighting for deserves their total sacrifice.

My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.
